Hi Chaps,
here are a few pics of a yet unfinished project(my pal still has the bloody tail section!).
We started to refurb it as it was a rusty bag-of -bollox on arrival and was due to rust into oblivion.
Cant find any pics of when it first arrived,so here is one after the first stage after de-rust and a load of `caulk`(i think thats how you spell it?)applied.

after a jolly good rub down,re-apply,rub down,etc,etc...:S

The tail also pictured,but metal filler was used on that.

After a liberal dose of red primer paint.
The one on the right i gave to my pal for helping me out on my `shrek.


no pic,i will try again in a new post??

 

[waffenamt]

Hi wemme,

when the parts arrived from eastern Europe,i saw that they had already been in the fire to de-rust.A coat of rust-proofing paint,i then rubbed them down,filled with builders caulk and coated them in that red anti rust paint again.Im currently waiting the return of the tail section from a pal who is rebuilding it with metal filler.

cheers

Hi weasel,

I went round and left a note through the letter box and heard nowt so far.
His neighbour says its nigh on impossible to get hold of him when he has a parcel to drop off!
Bloody ridiculous way to treat pals if you ask me?
